Here's a resource you've been waiting for: A Chart of ePortfolio Platforms

This excellent resource was compiled by Patricia Donohue of ePortfolio California.  We present it with thanks to her.  It will enable you to more easily compare eportfolio platforms!  We offer it to the eportfolio community in hopes that it will be helpful.  By the end of our 2012 winter-spring webinar series, we will have added all of the platforms represented during webinar sessions.  (Note: This document is an Excel file.)
